Two go down, two come in.
So I took a good, hard look at my City of Heroes roster on the Protector server yesterday, and realized that at least two were never going to be much fun to play. (There’s a third that may or may not make the cut. I’m still debating on him.) Yesterday I blew out one of them, and this morning I blew out the other. In place of NeutrinoStorm and Myne alMyne are a new Defender and Controller (respectively) named R Ken Ettic and The Immaterial Girl.
Ken’s a Kinetics Defender, and Imma’s a Gravity/Radiation Controller. And now I remember why I didn’t play Myne very much: Controllers are hard to play in the early stages. Gah.
I’ll post screenshots eventually, but for now suffice to say that Ken’s a robot (as implied by the Asimovian naming scheme) and Imma’s in a getup somewhat similar to (but not exactly like) Sailor Jupiter, as Dawn noted upon first spying her costume in the game. Ah well. So it’s not like I’m ever going to win any costume contests…

Mixed Blessings At The Workplace
Good: Approval for new email server
Bad: Waiting about two more weeks for new email server and hoping that the current server doesn’t collapse under its own weight in the meantime
Good: Upgrading the sound card in one of the prep rooms
Bad: Suddenly losing one channel of audio in and out of the machine (has nothing to do with the card, as swapping left/right on the breakout box for the card produces the expected result), leaving me bewildered and out of ideas
Good: Mandatory off-site meeting from 3pm to closing time
Bad: Mandatory off-site meeting… well, you get the idea

Mark your calendar, local blogger-types.
Friday evening, 6pm, Backspace downtown on NW 5th and Couch. Be there or be…somewhere else much less cool.
Portland Bloggers, baby.

Air Soft Men!
I have to wonder what these spammers think, sometimes. Take, for instance, the following subject line. Please.
“Rock Hard Women!”
I don’t know about you but when I think of the attributes of my ideal woman, neither of the words “rock” or “hard” enter the picture. Come to think on it, “soft,” which is the opposite of “hard,” is one of the things that come to mind. As for “rock,” well, nothing should be rock-like if you ask me. Not her head, not her… well, anything else. Other words that come to mind are “curvy” and “smart” and “smell nice.” No geological terms arise at all.
In fact, usually you come across the words “rock hard” as describing some part of a man’s anatomy. (Abs, people. Get your minds out of the gutter!) So I have to wonder why I’m having rock hard women offered to me as if it was something I’d be interested in.
Bewildering, as is most spam. Funny, though.
